Best Pet Rescues in Los Angeles

Highlighting the Top Three Rescues in the Los Angeles Area

Are you in the market for a new furry friend this month? Then take note!

We’re about to provide you with three of our favorite local rescues and give you a little insight into the world of pet adoption, how it works, and what to expect when thinking about rescue.

Let’s dive in!

Why Should I Rescue?

According to the ASPCA, 6.5 million pets are released into the care of animal shelters and rescues in the United States per year.

The good news is that the number is dropping based on data taken from studies in 2011 when 7.2 million pets wound up in shelters nationwide.

How can you help keep that number on the decline? Join the movement!

There are tons of perks to rescuing. For one thing, rescuing is a whole lot cheaper than buying a puppy from a breeder or pet store.

But most importantly, rescuing saves lives.

When you adopt a dog or cat from a shelter, you are freeing up space in that shelter for other companion animals in need. You are also reducing the number of adoptable pets who are unnecessarily euthanized daily due to overcrowding.

Best of all, you are participating in the annihilation of puppy mills by not contributing to the demand for puppies to be sold in pet stores, by backyard breeders, or by online sellers just looking to make a quick buck.

Knowing all this hopefully you are now ready to adopt so let’s talk about some of the best shelters in the Los Angeles area!
